13 thoughts on “Famous INTJs: Real and Fictional”

Great list of great people some are role models others i just admire a lot. One day would like to be on such a list- that’d be cool. Question: how can you be sure of the fictional characters, is it intuition?

When it comes to judging the personality of fictional characters, think of it like this:
The farther you get through a movie, tv show, or especially book. The character traits of the involved parties start to become very apparent as you go along. Eventually you’ll be able to predict the actions of the characters because of what you’ve learned about their personalities. Almost like you know them. Or of course if you created the character, you probably know a decent amount about them haha.
While it can really only be speculated, Because after all they are fictional characters, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume that someone who is really familiar with the character took the test in their place

sherlock holmes is not an INTJ. the J/P difference is what sets him and moriaty completely apart. J/P being the preferred extravert function and how they appear to other individuals. which is one of the reasons that sherlock holmes was able to get the upper hand on moriarty. not that INTPs are better in any fashion than INTJs. and sherlock is a completely and utterly logical being not allowing any thought of his own to influence the end result of his conclusion. again a trait that set him apart from moriarty who allowed logic paired with his own desires to guide him.

Under musicians, isn’t that supposed to be Maynard James Keenan, of Tool? He’s often mentioned as an INTJ. The only John Maynard Keynes that I know of was the economist whose theories led to Keynesian economics.

Sooo, I guess it’s safe to assume that there are no people of color who are INTJ’s…oh, aside from me, that is. Oh wait! There’s O-Ren Ishii! Gotta admit I felt a vicarious thrill at her precise, soft-spoken formality and laser-like, murderous rage!!!
